I have built this prop and people love it. I use the express to turn it on an off at certain times.
I use a computer power supply, this provides the 12vdc for the stirring, 5 vdc for the head and the 3.3 vdc for the eyes.

The skulls look great!
I also use VSA, so VSA recognises the bobcat? I am currently using a ssc.
Thanks,
Rick

They are the ones in the wiki TM1804 smart string nodes.

here is a quick video of my mega tree. It is 16 strands, 10',180 deg. At the end it shows some text.

Hey Ryan,
We got our power back this morning at around 9:30.
My mega tree looks good with all the ice on it, MUCH brighter.

I ordered 16 strands of 50 count from the wiki for a mega tree in October. I have no failures even with the ice storm here in the Toronto area over the last four days.

Hi Steve,
Does this also apply (lowering the voltage) to the non Technicolor Strings that have the TM1804 IC?
Thanks

I prefer nodes because with strips your vertical density is much higher than your horizontal density.

so by doing nodes you can keep things more even? I am doing 3'' spacing. I started to sink my nodes into a 1/2'' emt pipe. that is what got me thinking about strips. Lol  sure is a lot of work to sink the node in the pipe but man it looks good. how are you guys mounting your nodes to keep them straight and in tight form? here is a pic of the first of 20(maybe 32) bars I planned on using for my tree. my initial plan was 20 strings 50 nodes each. but i'm starting to lean towards making it 32 strings for tighter spacing.
I am planning to go this method but I am concerned about UV on the wires. Do you guy's worry about this?
Thanks,
Rick
